the `blockdata` directory is code organisation thing, all the
types/modules are re-exported from other places. In preparation for, and
to make easier, the `primitives` crate smashing work - remove all
explicit usage of `blockdata`.
Note that the few instances remain as they seem required e.g.,
`pub(in crate::blockdata::script)`
Refactor only, no logic changes.
Rust version 1.56.0 introduced edition 2021. Shortly afterwards, on
October 21 2021 Rust version 1.56.1 was released.
Debian stable is currently shipping `rustc 1.63.0`.
Our stated MSRV policy is: In Debian stable and at least 2 years old.
Therefore our MSRV policy is met by Rust version 1.56.1 and we can strat
to bump our MSRV org wide.
Start by bumping the `rust-bitcoin` and `hashes` MSRV to Rust 1.56.1,
includes:
- Update docs.
- Update CI and remove pinning.
- Update the build files and remove now stale cfg attributes rust_v_1_x
for values less than the new MSRV.
- Use new `IntoIterator` for arrays so we no longer need to allocate a
vector to iterate.

Improve the public exports in two ways:
1. Inline re-exports into the docs of the module that re-exports them.
2. Separate public and private use statements
Recently we discussed a way to separate the public and private import
statements to make the code more clear and prevent `rustfmt` joining
them all together.
Separate public exports using a code block and `#[rustfmt::skip]`. Has
the nice advantage of reducing the number of `#[doc(inline)]` attributes
also.
1. Modules first, as they are part of the project's structure.
2. Private imports
3. Public re-exports (using `rustfmt::skip` to prevent merge)
Use the format
```rust
mod xyz;
mod abc;
use ...;
pub use {
...,
};
```
This patch introduces changes to the rendered HTML docs.
We would like the codebase to be optimized for readability not ease of
development, as such code that is write-once-read-many should not use
macros.
Currently we use the `impl_std_error` macro to implement
`std::error::Error` for struct error types. This makes the code harder
to read at a glance because one has to think what the macro does.
Remove the `impl_std_error` macro and write the code explicitly.
As part of an ongoing effort to make our error types stable and useful
add a stand set of derives to all error types in the library.
`#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]`
Add `Copy` if possible and the error type does not include
`#[non_exhaustive]`.
If an error type includes `io::Error` it only gets `#[derive(Debug)]`.
Currently we have a mishmash of attribution lines accompanying the SPDX
identifier. These lines are basically meaningless because:
- The date is often wrong
- The original author attributed is not the only contributor to a file
- The term "rust bitcoin developers" is basically just noise
Just remove all the attribution lines and be done with it. While we are
at it add an SPDX line to the few files missing it, whether this license
nonsense is even needed is left as an argument for another day.
It may not be obvious why the condition in `push_bytes` module checks
for negation of 16 and 32 bit architectures rather than 64 bit. This
adds a comment about it being conservative.
